"I am quite happy with the new set of board members," said Pawar after Jagmohan Dalmiya was unanimously elected president at the BCCI AGM here yesterday.

Pawar said the result showed that Srinivasan did not rule the board. "Somebody was claiming that the entire board was under his thumb, so this result has shown that is not the situation," said Pawar.
